Local coverage across Preston
We arrange recovery right across Preston and Lancashire: Preston City Centre, Fulwood, Ashton, Ribbleton, Penwortham, Deepdale, Ingol, Broughton. Wherever you are, on a main road, a residential street, a car park or the motorway, we identify the nearest available local operator and send them to you, then agree the price before anyone sets off, so there are no surprises when they arrive.
Our local operators know the Preston road network: the M6 at Junctions 31 and 32, the M55 to Blackpool, the M65 to east Lancashire, the A59 and A583, and the Ribble crossings. Knowing these means a recovery truck reaches you quickly at one of the busiest motorway hubs in the North West.
Preston sits at a major motorway crossroads where the M6, M55 and M65 meet, on the River Ribble in central Lancashire, near the historic Preston Bypass, Britain’s first motorway. Match days at Deepdale, the university, and the heavy motorway-junction traffic all shape a recovery. Our local operators know the M6 and M55 junctions, the Ribble bridges and where it is safe to load.

The nearest available operator heads to you, with live updates so you are never left wondering.

What to do if you break down in Preston
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
